  • Patent number: 9838735
    Abstract: The present technology relates to a reception device, reception method, and program that can prevent erroneous detection of a predetermined signal, such as a P1 signal, included in, for example, a received signal such as DVB-T2. A correlation calculation unit obtains a correlation value between received signals including a predetermined signal in which an original signal and a duplicate signal obtained from a copy of at least a part of the original signal are disposed. An average power calculation unit obtains average power of the received signals. A normalization unit obtains a normalized correlation value obtained by normalizing the correlation value by the average power. The present technology can be applied to a case where a P1 signal being a preamble signal is detected from a received signal such as DVB-T2, for example.

  • Patent number: 9714882
    Abstract: When a liquid level is changed even though an inflow of a heat medium into a specific heat transfer tube bundle is stopped, it is determined that there is no abnormality in the heat transfer tube bundle in which the inflow of the heat medium is stopped and then another heat transfer tube bundle is inspected. Next, when the inflow of the heat medium into the specific heat transfer tube bundle is stopped not to cause the change in the liquid level, it is determined that there is an abnormality in the heat transfer tube bundle to which the inflow of the heat medium is stopped. Thus, it is possible to determine that there is an abnormality in the heat transfer tube bundle in which the inflow of the heat medium is stopped.
